Fashion Friday – Can One Be Too Retro?
Posted by PaulAug 20
I like a little moment of Retro now and again.
Paisley, velour, stretch pants, well, maybe not stretch pants!
But this – and I took this at the Mall – is just too Retro for me!
And even though the “Flintstones” remains a great cartoon series, and was ground-breaking in that Fred and Wilma were the first married couple to be shown in the same bed on Television, I’m just not sure we’re ready for the Stone Age again!
I’ll bet Wilma and Betty would be proud!
But, I still think it’s a bad look…just about a million years too retro!

I hope you are going to explain the difference between retro, vintage, old and antique.

I would never have seen the stone age look if you hadn’t pointed that out!

Does this mean I shouldn’t be wearing my loin cloth?
